Club h-alpha telescope
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 9:04 am
Guys,
There has been alot of talk in recent times that the club should try and get a h-alpha telescope, well, I'm totally in favour of this venture, its just a matter of how we raise the funds.
Its a solar scope we can use at daytime public/school events, it would take alot of pressure off the club to do nighttime school events, which are difficult to organize.
While at cosmos, I saw a h-alpha solution which gives great images,
Basically what we need to get is a SM90 filter and a BF15 diagonal, I have a scope that they'll fit on.
Another solution would be a complete solarmax scope, but would cost more.
I dont mind how we do it, so long as we end up with a super scope.
Roy and I have been discussing ways of raising funds, if it works we'll be sorted.
